Manufactured in 1862 with a "three-screw" frame cut for a shoulder stock, standard markings and sights, small single letter inspection marks, Orville W. Ainsworth "OWA" cartouche on the left side of the grip, and matching serial numbers aside from the wedge (21895).

Fine with 30% original blue finish, 75% plus bright original case colors, gray and brown patina on the balance of the iron, some light oxidation and pitting, light aged patina on the brass, mostly distinct markings, and mild overall wear. The re-oiled grip is very good with clear cartouche, faint hand marked "13" on the upper left, and mild scratches and edge wear. Mechanically fine.
